the triangular pedestal represent the stu
dent. the warrior ana statesman, typify-
ing the three epochs in Garfeld's career.
The bronze tablets above the figures bear
a globe, trumpet and sword, and lau-

determination to erect this tribute to
Amoricarf greatness; and thus to-day by
this sympathy it presents in its SYM
etry and beauty sign of anlmosltles
forgotten, an emblem of brotherhood re-
deemed and token of a nation restored
Monuments and statues multiply through
out the land, fittingly illustrative of the
love and affection of our grateful people
and commemorative the brave and patri-
o.ic sacrifices in war, fame in peaceful pur
suits, or honor in public station. But
from this day forth, there shall stand at
our seat of government this statue of
distinguished citizen, who in his life and
services combined all these things and
more, which challenge admiration in
American character-loying tenderness in
every domestic relation, bravery on the
field of battle, fame and distinction in the
halls of legislation and the highest dignity
in the chief magistracy of the nation.
This stately effigy shall not fail to teach
every beholder that the source of great
ness is confined to no condition, nor de-
pendent alone for it's growth and develop
ment upon favorable surroundings. The
genius of our national life beckons TO
usefulness and honor those in every
sphere, and offers the highest preferment
to manly ambition and sturdy, honest
effort chastened and consecrated by pat
riotic hopes and aspirations. AS long as
this statue stands let it be proudly re-
membered that to every American citizen
the was is open to fame and station,
until he,
Moving from high to higher;
Becomes on {, rtune's crowElng opa,
The pillar Of a peoples hope,
The centre Of worlds desire
"Nor can we forget that it also teaches
our people a sad and distressing lesson;
and the thoughtful 5itizen who views its
fair proportion cannot fail to recall the
tragedy of a death which brought grief
and mourning to every household in the
land But while American citizenship
stands aghast and affrighted that murder
and assassination should Turk in the
midst of a free people and strike down
the head of their government a fearless
search and the discovery of the origin
and hiding plade of these hateful and I'M
natural things should be followed by q
solemn resolve to purge for ever our po
litical methods and from the opera
ton of our government the
provisions and misconception which
give birth TO the passionate and bloody
thoughts. If from this hour our admira-
ton for the bravery and nobility of Ameri-
can manhood, and our faith in the posi-
bilities and opportunities of American
citizenship be renewed; if our apprecia-
ton of the blessing OF a restored union,
and love for our government be strength
ened, and if our watchfulness against the
dangers of a mad chase after partisan
spoils be quickened, the dedication of
this statue of the people of the United
States will not be in vain"
